They still call them presidents.
DeVry University recently changed head honchos. The old president, John Skubiak, 56, stepped down and a new president David Pauline, 49, was appointed to succeed him.
Honcho by the way is a Japanese word. Each neighborhood is divided into small sub units or groups of residents. On a rotating basis people are appointed to collect community funds, organize community events and such. These people are called the honcho.
DeVry presidents do much more than preside over small community events,
to be sure.
But, they are not called CEOs...even at fopros.
DeVry is one of the big players. The question to be asked is how much difference does a president at a fopro make to a university. And the answer is the same as the difference a president makes at a traditional university.
DeVry has a new boss. I look forward to hear if they will have a new vision or not.
